Follow: A 12-Week Discipleship Journey

Our discipleship material is called Follow, a 12-week devotional journey built on the Discovery Bible Study method. Rather than being told what the Bible says, you'll read God's Word for yourself and discover what it teaches, then decide how to put it into practice.

Here's how it works:

  1. Read and study on your own, five days a week. Each day includes a Bible passage and a few simple study questions. Plan on about [15–20] minutes a day.
  2. Meet together once a week. The two disciples and their discipler gather to talk through what they discovered, ask questions, share how they're applying it, and pray together.
  3. Repeat for 12 weeks. Along the way you'll build a habit of daily time in Scripture and relationships that last well beyond the study.
  4. Pass it on. At the end of the journey, you're encouraged to find two people of your own and lead them through Follow.

Our Heart: Great Commission Living

At First Baptist Church Elgin, we believe the Great Commission calls us to more than helping people make a decision for Christ. Jesus told us to go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything He commanded (Matthew 28:19–20).


We rejoice every time someone comes to faith in Jesus. But we don't want anyone to stop there. Our desire is to walk alongside every believer as they grow in loving, learning, and living like Jesus, until they are ready to turn around and do the same for someone else.


That's the vision of 2 Timothy 2:2: Paul taught Timothy, Timothy taught faithful people, and they taught others also. Four generations of faith in a single verse. We are committed to making disciples who make disciples.

Our Approach: One Discipler, Two Disciples

Disciple-making at FBCE happens in groups of three: one discipler meeting with two people who want to grow in their walk with Jesus.

Why three?

  • It follows Jesus' example. Jesus poured into the crowds, the Twelve, and often most closely into just a few.
  • It builds encouragement. Two disciples walking together can sharpen, support, and pray for one another between meetings. "A threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
  • It takes the pressure off. Conversation flows more naturally, and no one feels like they're in the spotlight.
  • It multiplies faster. When a group finishes, two new disciple-makers are ready to begin, each bringing along two more.
